<TITLE>20. Par -</TITLE>L-540-185 First thing, the Holy Spirit begin to tell him who he was, what he'd done, what happened down through his life, everything about it (See?), just right on, telling him everything. Banks is a witness. Never opened his mouth and said but about two words to me; and there It come telling him, said, "You've been a vagabond; you really live in Madison. You just come from Evansville; Indiana. You've been down there in this Bible school, a cult, got all mixed up. You just come to Louisville a few minutes ago. There was a man, and a man told you (that you set and eat with him), told you to come over here and see me, and straighten you out of trouble." I said, "That's THUS SAITH THE LORD."
The man just setting, batting his eyes, looking at me, said, "Yes, sir."
I said, "Stunned you, didn't it?"
He said, "It did."
I said, "You believe the Holy Spirit?"
He said, "I want to, sir."
And I said, "You want me to tell you what you're thinking about?"
He said, "Yes, sir." And I told him. He said, "And brother, that's the truth."
And I said, "Change your thoughts."
He said, "All right, I have."
I said, "This is what you're thinking about."
He said, "That's right. That's right."
I said, "Now, you don't need a vision; you just need straightened out." I told him something there that you wouldn't want me to tell. If it was on you, you wouldn't. It's some bad thing that was horrible, so you wouldn't want me to tell it if it was on you. And I don't tell what the Lord shows me on people. So I just said, "All right, you'll do it?"
He said, "I will."
I said, "Be on your road."

L-541-190 We was in there about not over ten minutes, wasn't it, Brother Banks? About between seven and ten minutes. Walked back out, come back down the road, and going down the road, he and I and Banks and my little boy, Joe, I believe it was, riding along together, going down the pike. He turned around to me; he said, "Mister, I want to ask you a question."
I said, "All right."
He said, "I'm a bit confused." He said, "How did you know all that stuff on me?" See? Banks was setting there.
And I said, "Mister, did you ever hear of my visions and my ministry?"
He said, "I never knowed your name till about an hour ago. Somebody told me, just said over there in Louisville, told me to come over here, and I walked across the bridge." Is that right, Banks? He said, "I never even knowed your name, knowed who you was."
I said, "In my ministry, it's a gift of God that He sent."
He said, "Then if that's--that's the way that is," said, "now I'm..." Said, "I'm just all... I'm all right now." He said, "Everything's gone." See? He said, "What it is, that was God speaking through you to me."
I said, "Correctly."
He said, "Now, I understand in the Bible that... One time I read in the Bible," and said, "Jesus spoke to His disciples." Which he meant "the people," you see? Said, "Spoke to His disciples and He told them the things that they were thinking of." See? Perceiving their thoughts is where he was getting to. He said, "And He said it was His Father that was speaking through Him."
I said, "That's right."
He said, "Now, now, the Father then just used you to speak through you to me, to tell me these things and get me to believe what you told me was the truth."
I said, "Was it the truth?"
He said, "Yes." Said, "Then it has to be God."
